the ad provoked a sharp response from john mccain, turning 9/11 into a cheap political attack. he went on to say, this is the same president who once criticized hillary clinton for invoking bin ladin to score political points, it's the same president who said after bin ladin was dead, we shouldn't spike the ball after the touchdown. keeping them honest, senator mccain is factually correct on both those counts. you can decide whether for yourself the killing of bin ladin, a year after the event constitutes spiking the ball. you can't deny he said those words, nor can you deny he criticized hillary clinton for running a primary ad featuring bin ladin. he seems to be doing to mitt romney what was unacceptable to them when the hillary clinton campaign was doing it to them. >> there's a difference in the roles they would play as commander in chief, that's fair game. >> he's managed to turn it into a divisive, partisan, political attack. i think most americans will see it as a sign of a desperate campaign. >> whatever you think of the politics surrounding the killing bin ladin, presi
